Recently, the five-time champion shared a video of an iconic moment of his career from 1998 that caught the fans’ attention and made them discuss on the affair on social media.

During his NBA days, every so often Rodman used to surprise the NBA world with some of his off-the-court exploits. However, in 1997, Dennis the Menace shocked both the hoops and wrestling world when he made his WCW debut after joining hands with the legendary wrestling stable, nWo.

Lately, the five-time champion shared a video of him flexing the iconic WCW World Heavyweight Championship with the nWo. In the video, the Worm proudly showed off the championship belt along with smoking a cigar in front of his friend-cum-one of the instrumental members of the aforementioned wrestling stable, Hulk Hogan.
